But because this kind of punctuation mark is troublesome to type, it is rarely used. Later, in order to facilitate printing and save manpower and material resources, quotation marks were often used to replace the titles of books and newspapers.

The "" sign was originally a symbol in Russian, roughly equivalent to quotation marks in modern Chinese. In the 1950s, during the craze for learning Russian, many people copied "" and used it as quotation marks. Over time, it was accepted by people. At first, people called it "angle brackets", and later it was renamed the book title number.

The wavy line is now only used with proper names in ancient books in mainland China, but it is still often used in Hong Kong and Taiwan. However, most students in Hong Kong will not use horizontal lines in book titles because of the trouble, and will change it instead. Use """ which is standard in mainland China.

Due to the popularity of computers and the Internet, as well as the inconvenience of traditional book title numbers (﹏﹏) in computer input and typesetting, Taiwan has gradually accepted the use of """ and "〈〉" as book title numbers. .
